Jiang Tuge smiled and nodded, then glanced at Si Mubai beside him and said proudly, "Manager Li, my husband is very powerful."

"Having him accompany us on this trip will save us a lot of unnecessary mistakes along the way!"

"That's right. Apart from anything else, having you and your wife in our Yunzhuang is a blessing earned over several lifetimes." Manager Li already had a good impression of Si Mubai, and now what Jiang Tuge has done to Zhuangzi is , but he looked down upon the couple from the bottom of his heart.

Jiang Tuge looked at the rising sun in the sky, and after repeatedly explaining to the two children, he and Si Mubai followed Manager Li towards the foot of the mountain.

At this time, the villagers had not gotten up to work in the fields, so they were not afraid of being seen along the way.

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, the hunters that Manager Li had notified last night had gathered there waiting for them.

Jiang Tuge looked around and saw that everyone was wearing hunting equipment. There are those who hold steel forks like Si Mubai, and there are also those who hold crossbows and nets.

At first glance, these things were preparations for going into the mountains to deal with ferocious beasts today. Jiang Tuge looked at them and couldn't help but nodded.

When everyone saw Manager Li coming, they hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Manager Li, we are all ready. Whatever you tell us to do today, we will do it."

"That's right, we went into the mountains today to hunt wild beasts and find water sources. Our life in Yunzhuang will be better, and we no longer have to be angry with those bastards in Changxing Village."

Everyone was talking to each other, but in their voices was the urgency to go into the mountain today.

Manager Li looked at everyone and said with a serious face, "Today we go into the mountains to find the source of water. We still need to worry about it. But I am just a follower. The one who really found the source of water is the Si family."

"It turns out to be Mrs. Jiang. She is indeed a hero among women."

"Ms. Jiang, we at Yunzhuang are entrusted to you."

"Yes, if something happens to you and Si Dalang in the future, we will definitely help each other."

.........

Jiang Tuge smiled at everyone and said softly, "You don't have to be so polite. My husband and I have been coming to Yunzhuang for many years."

"To tell you the truth, our couple has long regarded this place as our hometown. It is only right to do whatever we can for our hometown."

Manager Li on the side listened to everyone's words, turned around and saluted Jiang Tuge, "From the Si family, our Yunzhuang's survival depends on you."

"I don't know how to thank you, so please accept my bow."

Seeing this, Jiang Tuge hurriedly stepped forward to support Manager Li, "You are always trying to hurt me. I have told everyone just now. Only by working together can we accomplish this."

Manager Li nodded, "We all know what you are thinking. If this matter is done as a favor to you, we at Yunzhuang will definitely take note of it."

"Manager Li, let's talk about these things later. Let's leave quickly. I'm afraid someone will see you later."

Jiang Tuge looked at the small shadow in the distance and tightened his eyes. Fortunately, there are trees at the foot of the mountain, making it difficult for people outside to see clearly.

After hearing this, everyone stopped dawdling. After all, this matter is related to everyone's lives, and no one dares to take risks.

Just when everyone was packing up their things and preparing to go into the mountain, someone said, "Why didn't Zhao Ergou come? Can you see him?"

After the words fell, everyone looked a little nervous.

Manager Li was in a panic. Zhao Ergou slept well last night. Why was there no trace of him today? The agreed time has passed, is Zhao Ergou really not coming? Countless thoughts were running through Manager Li's mind at the same time. He didn't know whether Zhao Ergou was delayed because of something or because he told his wife about it. In short, no matter what the situation was, the result was not good.

Manager Li frowned and his face turned cold, "From the Si family, you take the big guys into the mountain first. Si Dalang, you come with me."

Hearing this, these people became anxious. After they found out about this last night, they were all very excited. Right now, the progress is delayed because of one person.

Seeing that everyone was getting agitated, Manager Li coughed and said, "Please be quiet, are you really afraid that others don't know we are here?"

"Si Dalang and I are going to find Zhao Ergou. Even if we have to tie him up, we have to tie him up."

After the words fell, everyone felt resentful. Zhao Ergou, this idiot, what is he going to do!

Orion, who lives next door to Zhao Ergou's house, said, "I will go with you. Even though Si Dalang and his wife are not natives here, they are still thinking about our Yunzhuang."

"I think he just doesn't want to come. Maybe his wife is stopping him!"

.........

Manager Li frowned when he heard this. If this matter really spreads, he will be the sinner of Yunzhuang.

Jiang Tuge pursed his lips lightly and said, "Manager Li, now is not the time to quarrel. No matter what Zhao Ergou's reason is, if this continues, everyone will only lose morale."

Manager Li looked at Jiang Tuge and nodded. He looked at everyone and yelled, "Okay, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ergou's figure was running towards this side. He gasped as he ran, "Manager Li, I'm late!"

Everyone saw Zhao Ergou running very fast with a crossbow and a steel fork on his back.

Manager Li's worried heart suddenly relaxed, "Zhao Ergou, run slower. We haven't set off yet, so don't be in a hurry!"

Hearing this, Zhao Ergou slowed down a bit. When he ran to the foot of the mountain, everyone's expressions were extremely gloomy.

Manager Li didn't know whether he should talk to him at this time, but seeing everyone's dissatisfied expressions, he still asked, "You promised well last night, why are you here so late today?"

"I...I..." Zhao Ergou bent over and gasped.

Jiang Tuge looked at Zhao Ergou, originally waiting for him to recover and ask. But when she looked at Zhao Ergou's face, her pupils dilated slightly.

Now she somewhat understood why Zhao Ergou came so late, because there were marks on his face and neck that were dug out by the woman's family.

She had heard Yan Shu say before that Zhao Ergou's wife was from Changxing Village. Even though Zhao Ergou looks tall and thick, he is bullied by his wife all day long.

Manager Li also noticed the change in the expression on Jiang Tuge's face. He thought something was wrong and quickly asked, "Si family member, what's wrong with you?"

"This Zhao Ergou should be scolded, otherwise everyone will be dissatisfied."

Jiang Tuge came back to his senses and said, "Manager Li, it's good that Zhao Ergou is here now. If we scold him for this trivial matter, everyone will definitely be more or less distraught."

"Let's go into the mountains while everyone is in good spirits."
